After beating their Popstars: The Rivals competitors to the Christmas Number 1 in December 2002, Girls Aloud's Sound Of The Underground went on to spend four weeks at the top of the chart and heralded in a run of 21 magnificent chart smashes that defined a decade in pop.
This weekend Cheryl, Kimberley,
